Are the 4 Big Lifts a meme? Seems like their prominence is pretty much arbitrary. Asking because I love DLs and OHP but don't care much for Memesquats and Flat Bench. Will it actually affect my gainz if I substitute them for variations/alternatives I enjoy? I don't really give a fuck how much I lift as long as it goes up, and I also don't intend on comparing my lifts with you fags, if that helps.

Bench and squats are way more important than DL or OHP.
Nothing can replace squats unless you want to do an extra 2-3 accessories.

But sure, if you want to do that, go ahead. Who gives a fuck, just do what you enjoy doing.

I honestly can't stand back squats at this point. I actually kind on like the feeling but my autism has ruined them for me. Every time I get in the cage I think "this is reddit, this is memes". Squats are a fad at this point. They're literally Cosmopolitan-the exercise. Literal instagram tier millenialness. They're the Veeky Forumsness equivalent of Starbucks. All those "squats make you awesome xDD" and "real manlybaconbeard men squat" memes are fucking killing me inside. I need to find a new lift. Looking into hack squats or rear foot elevated split atm. I just wanted normies to stay where they belong.

I bet you think thicc men are "manly"

I absolutely love deadlifts but they're really not that important for anything other than deadlifts.

>this is reddit, this is memes

always makes me chuckle

Finna break out the functional strength meme and say dead lifts are probably the most important IRL

Maybe if you do sumo, but those are fucking meme tier.

Why is that? They're much more natural. Even the Greyskull guy said he preferred them.

What kind of sissy faggot doesn't enjoy bench pressing?
